I just got the HTC touch (love it so far) but after I installed the Sprint TV app (or about the same time, not sure if that was the direct cause) the auto rotate feature stopped working.
I can manually rotate to landscape mode but it doesn't automatic flip when I tilt the phone to the side. I've restarted, removed sprint tv, soft reset, but still isn't working.
If autorotate ever worked on your Vogue, it would be the first Vogue I've ever heard of that has that feature.
Whatever he's on, I want it.
The Vogue never had an auto-rotate.

i hate to sound like i dont know what the hell im talking about, but the demo touch at the sprint store near me does this... so i was disappointed when i got mine and it didnt.... i guess ill head back over there and see if i can get an answer out of those guys.
If you have spb mobile shell 2 on your phone it will auto rotate your screen
from portrait to landscape mode. I have it (spb) on my phone (XV6900) and I just tried
it. It works.
maybe when you use a certain program like sprint tv, but it definately won't auto rotate like an iphone.
If you have mobile shell
2 it will rotate whatever
is on the screen - today
screen , email , etc. from
portrait to landscape.

which operation you are performing to rotate the screen ?
1) only rotate physically the device
2) press the rotate function( application ) on the device
or what else ?
thanks
cheers

Go to the tools section and push the rotate screen button.
By the way , when you
turn on the camera ,
the screen " autorotates"
to the landscape mode.
well when u open the camera it does not really Rotate the screen that's just how the camera opens the screens in behind it are still in portrait. If the screen is in portrait "mode" when you open the camera then something is wrong. And if you press a button to have it rotate that is not really auto rotate. so if by auto rotate you mean the view changes to landscape when you rotate the phone sideways that is something the vogue does not do. It does not have the hardware to detect orientation changes.
rofl the touch doesn't have a g sensor so autorotate is impossible.
Guys, no need to waste any more time on this. I think the reason for the question and confusion is a clear case of "spin".
It is true that when the Sprint TV application launches, it changes the screen orientation to landscape. When you close it, it switches back to portrait. You could say that it "automatically" does that. There is similar behavior for the camera and fullscreen video playback (if you have configured your device for it).
It is also true that the iPhone has a built-in piece of hardware that the Touch does not. This little gizmo (essentially an accelerometer) allows the phone to know when you have turned it on its side, and it will switch to landscape. This is an automatic process, and it is different from what the Touch does.
The Touch will never automatically rotate the screen unless someone here (hint, hint) writes an app that allows it to do so. One idea would be to use the camera to track the orientation of the device, and hence detect if the phone has been moved. This has obvious issues as the camera does eat up additional juice when it's on, and I'm not sure what the processing requirements are. We can make a thread on this in the hacking forum.

I don't know what you are smoking but I want some cause I have Mobil Shell 2 and it does not auto rotate. I have had my Touch 7 months and I have never had it auto rotate, I have to do it manually. As far as I understand it we do not have the necessary hardware for autorotation.
my camera "rotated"
hey.. maybe someone can explain this to me
one time when i turne don my camera. it was in portrait mode...
but it only did it once.. i realy dont like having it in landscape mode.

hey

Where can I go to download the mobile shell 2 then so mine will also rotate?
there has to be a tilt switch in the vogue, and there is not one in the sprint touch. so it will NOT AUTO rotate.
Anyone have a tweak to allow a G sensor setting that would always change the screen to landscape when the Tilt 2 is rotated sideways? A good use can be in contacts, where long names are trunkated and opening the slider all the time is a pain.
Thanks, Barry
Try searching for Gyrator, it will allow full autorotate across the board. I believe it even has options to let you choose which apps rotate and which don't
"Changescreen" is another app that does what you want -- I like it. It's lurking around here somewhere...don't remember where I got it, but easily search-for-able.
Here it is
With thanks to original poster
You guys are great. I installed the ChangeScreen cab since I only wanted the simplified rotate feature. Works just great. I missed the manual rotate function I had added on my origional Tilt. Nothing is better than the G sensor rotate on the Tilt 2. Thanks again
in hd i used to toggle between landscape and portrait from setting - system- screen then portriat or landscape,
in hd2 how can i do this?? this property is not availabel in setting.
pls can somebody tell how to rotate screen in this hd2?
thanks
hi ..ive got a similar issue .....the only shortcut that works with the accelerometer on my hd2 is the photo album ....the browser etc doesn’t respond the orientation of the handset ??.....any help would be most appreciated
.............
Did you try to keep your screen upright (vertical) when turning te screen? This should at least solve the issue for a couple of programs like Opera in landscape.
Second, not all programs support a landscape mode. There are more discussions on this forum how to solve this issue. You could use the search to find them.
Hope this helps.

Has it ever rotated the way you want? There's a couple of ways to make that happen, but the quickest is to just use the cab I have attached here. However, if you're running a custom ROM, you should check first to see if that ROM has the cabability built-in somehow (many do have that).
thanks my friend, that worked well
please help
I use my SM-G900H for some days but I have a problem with orientation of the screen and of the camera.
I think the sensor don't response, when I rotate the phone nothing happens.
I used CPU-Z to verify sensors it seems OK
how can resolve this problem please help.
thank you
Have you turned off screen rotation? I suspect you might have.
There is a toggle for it in the extended toggle section of the notification drawer.
yes I do it

Yes I do it, but nothing happens
The same thing even with the camera on the lock screen
Do other apps rotate when you tilt the device?

I solved the problem by strongly typing the phone against hand
